Intercultural Communications Workshops

This half-day or full day  highly experiential and applied workshop explores how our “implicit biases,” “sense of privilege,” and our tendencies to affiliate with similar others at work affect our perceptions and attitudes toward co-workers from different cultural backgrounds, ethnicities, and gender.  Participants practice a variety of different skills and techniques for effectively communicating with others from different backgrounds and experiences, and managing conflicts or disagreements that emanate from cultural background and/or gender differences. This workshop can be tailored for executives, managers, and line employees.
